This comes from review guides, so yeah, they are literally sent by the company with a set of talking points and things to mention.

I always hated the ribbon context menu system. It ruins the way I learn watch involves where something is just as much as what it’s called, kinda like remember where on a physical page something is even if you don’t remember the page.

Static, nested menus are superior.

Microsoft saw Google and Apple do this with phones, and Steam do this with games, and that’s why they made the Windows store a thing starting with 8.

They wanted to go the same direction.

Yes, that’s the implication, and it’s certainly intentional for you to think of it like that.

There is essentially no way to enforce, or even monitor this, like it’s fundamentally impossible without controlling everything from stl creation, to weapon construction.

Cool, what’s a reasonable replacement?

I would use an activity pub Lemmy verse Facebook

Nah, same here. I never connected it online. I just use it as a display

If you think the demand isn’t there, you’re out of touch. It’s certainly true that many consumers are choosing digital content, but it’s largely driven by it not having inconvenienced them so far too.

Everyone I’m seeing who lost the 3DS and Wii U stores, or lost access to all the games in their account, or even people who purchased media they can’t download and access again is realizing how big this problem is.

I mean, except it’s not a conspiracy. The death of physical media is an actual tragedy because digital media is nowhere near as free.

It’s to the point where much of the media I love is actually not available legally and officially for physical ownership, in some cases becoming actual lost media physically, and not available for purchase or even download anymore.

Companies absolutely want to control the consumption of media in more restrictive ways that they can control, it’s not a conspiracy, it’s the actual truth.

DRM, always online, digital only, subscription services - they are all designed to remove you further and further from being an owner.

Everything from video games, music, movies…all entertainment media is moving in this direction and it’s an actual tragedy.

I mean, even Google AI says it’s not bad, and in concept I kinda agree. I’ve had bacon donuts before and it was legit

Actually technically covers require royalties, whether they’re on a CD, or performed at someplace seedy.

They’re not the time honored tradition you think they are.

The Jaguar lied with the truth, and I say this as someone who still owns one.

I want a whole Lemmy subreddit ( community? ) of the AI overviews gone wild like this, it’s funny af

Why I stay away from modern tech

I’ve seen them set up in servers a RAID 1 booting ESXi

What is this monstrosity?

My apologies that you’re wrong.

This is a terrible analogy, and really should be a dead idea. We absolutely need leftist dissent on X because the platform is that important and has that much reach.

This isn’t a fair system, we can’t disappear from the world’s largest social media company over a principled stance, we need to be present and visible.

My point is that my experience in my life, to now, across two decades, was drastically different. People still didn’t bring a laptop to the community college I went to that year either, I had never seen or heard of it as a practice until later.

I returned back to school about five years later and laptops in classes was common.

We somehow seem to have had drastically different experiences she perspectives from a broadly large geographic region.

For additional perspective my typing class in 1999 used an actual typewriter, not a computer, so socioeconomic factors of my own high school experience and the area I grew up may have actually been that different and potentially atypical to even surrounding areas, it’s hard to tell.
